Falling

Yearning for freedom is one of the most painful things to wait for. Man was not blessed with the gift of wings, yet we still dream of flying. Our wings were never meant to be clipped.

this is so beautiful and haunting like most of the coil's songs! I agree wiv what acetica said about it!

It seems to be about depression.

"And now the beat inside of me is a sort of a cold breeze and I've never any feeling inside around me… I bring my body carry it into another world I know I live… but like a stone I'm falling down"

The beat is her heart beat though she doesn't feel like she is living and she feels like she should carry herself into the otherworld/afterlife.

She doesn't feel like she is actually alive, she just exists and feels nothing but emptyness and she is craving for it to end, but not for her existence to end.

"I see that another day is gone I don't wanna die… Please be here when I'll arrive, don't die… please "

The days just roll on by so meaningless and she just wants a change. It would seem that she has personified change and the lyric "Please be here when I'll arrive, don't die… please ", is addressing is directly and asking it to come and not to give up and leave her life like everything else.

Well that's my take on it. Probably completely wrong but.. oh well.

to me it seems like a song about being jaded(dunno if that's the right term) by the world... she's looking at the lines on her hands...talking to them to find out what went wrong in the previous years of her life yet there are no answers...she feels(as previously stated by others) dead inside and feels that death is the only release...possibly contemplating suicide...yet she prays for someone to find her...and stop her...so she will know someone cares and she wont have to go through with it....

i think it is a song about a friend who is depresed and at the end, the friend trys to commit suiccide. so yea, i agree with Spyke.

I agree with everyone else. I think this song is about being dead on the inside. How much she wishes she felt alive, but in the end she just keeps falling down. All she can do is hope that her inner feelings dont catch up with her and cause her to kill herself.

They redid this song on In a Reverie as 'Falling again'.

i like this song better than falling again>>>

This is gonna sound weird, but this version seems like the person isn't dead yet. or maybe the person still wants to believe the person's alive. the other version is more of an acceptance version on the person's death, imo

this is the most beautiful lacuna coil song ever!!! i love it!
